RELAYS...Not a Race!

The kiln saga continued a bit longer than I had anticipated...We got the receptacles replace thanks to a friend who also is an electrician.... I set up a quick program...and poof.....NOTHING! No heat! AAAARGH! And as is typical of human behavior, I tried it again. Nope...nothing happening. THe other kiln was fine but the Evenheat was clearly non functional.

I called the kiln guy who came out and told me it was likely the computer board....replacement and labor would run upwards of $600!
I don't want to tell you how much I have already put into the repair of these kilns already. He said he would reach out to the kiln techs at Evenheat and get back to me. The next day he came back and replaced all three relays.....and thankfully that solved the issue. The bill was more manageable...so now I've got to get busy. I have commissions waiting to be created and I have to figure out how to sell more glass so I can at least break even this year. Thats basically my goal...have a hobby that pays for itself. 

Wish me luck!
